CHERRY CREAM CHEESE PIE

This pie is one of Bonnie’s overall favorite deserts. It was originally a recipe made by her sister but Bonnie makes it every holiday. If you don’t like cherries, you can substitute it for any fruit filling of your choice. Bonnie says making a graham cracker crust from scratch can really enhance the flavor.
